About the Book

A crashed UAV on Mars.

A top-secret recovery mission.

Danger at every corner.

In the mid-21st century, humanity has planted its flags across Mars — and the rivalries that divided Earth have followed.

John Cameron is a twenty-five-year-old NASA mishap engineer with a desk job, a Top Secret clearance, and no ambitions beyond Maryland. When a Navy officer appears at his door with orders to deploy immediately, Cameron is swept into Project Cerulean — a classified military operation to recover a mysterious drone shot down over American-claimed Martian territory before rival powers can reach it first.

Surrounded by special forces operators, intelligence officers, and combat Marines, Cameron is the outsider — a civilian analyst who was never supposed to see action. But when his engineering skills narrow the search faster than anyone expected, he earns his place on a team racing against the clock in the canyons of the red planet.

What they find out there will be worth far more than anyone bargained for — and some secrets don’t stay buried.
